ROUGH Famous Westinghouse Traction Elevators - Hilton - Atlanta, GA

(Recorded 3/16/24)
Not much to be said, I was unfortunately not able to get a good video of the internal glass elevators because of how busy it was. To be quite blunt, the view of these is great, but these run like shit.

Heres some info about these for the description: All of these got modded in 1999 by Premier elevator with MCE controllers. All of the main ones go 800FPM, and the service go 500FPM. All of the traction elevators have their original machines. According to Andrew's video, these had AE fixtures. Hope this helps.

These are wonderful!

Elevation321 hates modernizations.

Wow, that’s the famous hotel. I’m going to be next-door to that hotel in a week.

That's the Marriott Marquis and they are key carded.

These were originally Westinghouse Selectomatic with AE fixtures before being modernized in 1999 with PTL fixtures.

[@QEElevators]

I hope these get a mod ly a large brand. Any new DD would be better than this. Agile, Port, Polaris, and Compass would all be better than this. I specifically love Polaris!

[@elevatorsof14s]

Do you think the TKE TWiN system could work here given the rooftop restaurant?

[@QEElevators]

@elevatorsof14s I'm don't think so. Mainly because the machine room is so cramped here that they couldn't fit that. I do think these should get a speed increase. I hope they bump it up to 1000FPM or 1200FPM. Would be awesome. These things are so busy during a convention.

[@elevatorsof14s]

Sorry to say, but these need a mod with Destination Dispatch. BADLY.😭

[@QEElevators]

For sure, but sadly a generic company (premier elevator) maintains these, so if it is destination, it will be MCE. These are already MCE (modded in 1999) and they badly need another mod.

[@elevatorsof14s]

@@QEElevators MCE destination dispatch is quite nice imho, but it'll take more than just the controls being upgraded to bring these up to par with the industry. Probably need new door equipment, shaft railings, cab structural braces, traveling cables, and more given their age and application (especially the outdoor ones).
